Hi list,


I am trying to build an email system that is using multiple frontends, to a clustered backend using nfs. The backend mounts his filesystems from a central storage, and will be running active-active.

While reading through the dovecot documentation, I read that I could do without indexes (well: use memory indexes), and could then be able to run dovecot over NFS. Well: that was until friday, when I was reading a little bit better through nfs.txt. :)

My problem is now that dovecot writes it's subscriptions to the mailstore. Since I want as little difference between my frondends as possible, (and as static as possible), I would love to see dovecot handle subscriptions in a database, or perhaps a nfs-safe file.

Since I am only a junior programmer (my code is really not far from "Hello world", although I am trying to find some time to teach myself more), I might not be able to be of much assistance to you all in coding stuff, but I am willing to help out where-ever possible.

Can anyone help me solve my problem in any way, and how can I contribute as well?


Thank you all,

Maikel Verheijen.
